Food-Imitating Candles

This Etsy Store Creates Stylish Home Items That Look Like Food

The Etsy store 'CandlelitDesserts' creates food-imitating candles that smell like the products they are inspired by.

These unusual candles look so realistically like food that it would probably be best to keep them away from unsuspecting people. The store features designs such as a bowl of Froot Loops, a caramel-covered apple, a sundae, a banana cream pie and even French macaroons. The smells of these candles can easily be visualized as they are crafted after the very products they imitate. The store also features some unusually designed soaps -- with inspirations such as American flag popsicles, mini donuts, and Rice Krispy treats.

These unusual food-imitating candles and soaps are a playful way to add some quirky accents to the home.
